The VDM document I have only has data as far as the Bf109G. I thought maybe it could possibly be for a K but now the new image shows no hole large enough for a cannon.

What other aircraft would have a large spinner like the 109 and be a late war development, in light of a distinct higher Haube Nummer.

On the contrary, thank you Tony for helping me out and checking on the serial numbers for me. Very much appreciated.

I would discount this one from being off a single engine fighter as you have already pointed out, the central hole is neither large enough nor does it have the flared rim that the Me109s had to accomodate the nose cannon.

I am leaning towards a twin engine fighter perhaps.
